I got their old phone, but I got concerned when they started with the phone that was 5g capable
officialblackwallstreet.com (directory), baf.solutions (nonprofit collective economics platform) , eliferestaurant.net (vegan soul food) , appealinc.org (DC Pan African cooperative) , nagastfootwear.com (RBG Sneaks), flowsgrocery.com (black owned food brands) , industrial-bank.com ... Gotta buy black -we should been doing it all along, it may move the needle incrementally, but it's something (integrationist economy, we were duped) .. anyway, don't get me started
I don't have any favourite one to be very honest with you as long as it's making money for the Black that owns the business. I love clothing business a lot and I have one for myself. My uncle is working on setting up an e-commerce store for me.
We all need to get the mindset, tbh. Imo, another deception to inculcate with an employee mentality ... Time to start building. I would love for one of us to come up with a stitch fix concept, essentially being personal stylists virtually ...
... A bit off topic, but I once heard someone say they weren't interested in creating more black millionaires ... Then who do we want them? Everything you buy, someone is getting that money , Is rather it be my Fam vs somebody that has an extraction mentality ... Anyway, sorry for the rant ... Kudos, the mentality is an act of defiance in itself ... Common man, but you got help, if needed ✊🏿
Really appreciate this thread brother. Much appreciated for everything you are already doing to forward the platform and the blklist. I am like others as farcas not having a favorite but utilizing all black owned directories and businesses. This thread has enlightened me further. Always a blessing to see how much business our people are conducting. My goal is to have only black owned business products in my home. Much respect to everyone who contributes. I knew some of the directories and businesses but man this thread blew me away in the best way. Much love to the family!!
I'm all for the food or restaurant business. My mother taught me the drills on how to run a restaurant perfectly and I have mastered it. I already have 2 restaurants set up and I'm working on getting another one up and running as soon as possible.
They had problems with my smoke shop and wouldn't allow me to sell anything. Bet if I were white they would have listed my store.
Do they have any smoke shop stuff on the site? I can see how they wouldn't want items like that if they want to be family friendly.
Needed some time to think. I have to say A Mothers Choice listed on the blklist is my favorite black owned business. This is due to being so pro black family. Going through the whole pregnancy process with the sister Mimi changed our lives. Every time i look at my all natural breast fed baby run around I am overjoyed. She worked as our family Dr. She was so sweet and hands on with us. I feel that every black mother should have a peaceful at home birth at this point. Wouldn't change the experience for the world. Trippy seeing your child pop out in your living room. Smooth transiation too since our baby was already used to the sounds of the home. Highly recommend for every black family!!
They had 1 listed selling rolling papers. This is when they first started. I got 1 sale and was shut down but we are happy with eBay for the most part.

I love Garner's Garden for their mouthwash and tooth powder. It was interesting to see tooth powder when I was expecting to see tooth paste.
I hear ya Bro .. but WBB is black owned :) I'm sure it wasn't that, I think it's was because of the product (not sure if they promote spirit brands ? ) I think it was more of an ideaology thing for them ... What was their reasoning? I'm sure there was no ill will Bro ..
Keep striving, whatever you do .. try OBWS or even the Blklst here ... The great thing about these times is that we are more on code, and there are more things like BoB directories or there
Gotta add, kweli.tv (diaspora indys) and the10kproject.com (financial literacy, crowdfunding black businesses via Pitch Tank concept. man, there's a lot of talent!) ...
Also, freemancapital.co ... Financial advisors, online finance tracking, consultants, etc ..
.. membership in the10kproject.com is highly recommended ... Did you know our people are starting a football league?! Out feels good to invest in black businesses , while reaping returns ... They have exposed me to so much, not to mention a steep discount on financial advisory via partnership with Freeman Capital ... I can't say enough good things abt them ..B1

A friend of mine is running a sex toy business and she's surprised that it's selling more than she ever expected it to. When she wanted start it, a lot of her friends were not in support of it but now, she's proving all of them wrong. Although, it's a weird product sales but the most important thing is you make your money.

This is interesting. There are plenty of people who use sexual toys for one reason or another. It could be a nice revenue business.
